Episode 7

Overview

The 2010 squad must be announced in the next two days. At a local high school football stadium, the girls take to the turf for their one and only field rehearsal. Director Kelli McGonagill Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammel are joined by technical director Kitty Carter to observe and critique from the stadium seats. Here, the mirrors and pristine dance floor are gone, and the field proves to be a strange and trying surface for the rookie candidates to perform their routines, kick line and flying splits. For Kelli and Judy, this field rehearsal reveals potential problems with how some of the girls manage and stand out on the field. The following evening, back at Valley Ranch, Kelli and Judy focus on the training camp candidates throughout the final studio rehearsal. Both know the squad must be chosen tonight, and the candidates' performance throws Kelli and Judy into a cloud of uncertainty. Are there still others who will be sent home during the squad photo shoot the next day?
